Lost both my parents in the last few years .... it still hurts bad and I'll always miss them both but believe it or not it does get better.
Hang in there and don't do anything crazy!

Go classy drunk!
Champagne when you get up, add some orange juice when you're eating breakfast for bucks fizz. If the champagne is finished and the kids are still opening presents then a few glasses of manzanilla. Quick beer when you are peeling potatoes for lunch. Another quick beer because the kitchen is hot. Open the red wine because the meat has gone in the oven. May as well finish the red wine because you don't want it going off and its not what you chose to go with lunch. Lunch is ready so open more champagne or a nice dry white. Pudding! Open the brandy or Vin Santo depending on taste! Phew! really full now! Time for beer in front of some classic films on the telly! Oh! did you drop off to sleep for a bit? Time to sort out supper. Better open a bottle of white wine while you work out what to have...
My plan tends to make itself up after that!

Tib's Eve is interesting.
Where I grew up we have that except it falls on the Wed before Thanksgiving. Everybody under 40 (and some over) goes out Wed night and gets absolutely shitfaced with all of their old friends. It's the only time you ever see most of them after graduating HS. But that night everyone might as well be 18 again, complete with ending up at someone's house until 6 am raiding the parent's liquor cabinet.
It's not the tryptophan that makes people pass out. They're all just hungover as balls.

This is why we always liked the infection control guys at the hospital when I worked there. Free alcohol! The catch though... external use only.

If you boof it, technically it's not drinking.

You'd fit in well with the Newfoundlanders
I've been celebrating Tibbs Eve all these years without even knowing what I was celebrating. This is incredible.

Tibbs Eve...AKA Christmas Adam...because it comes before Eve...and is generally not very satisfying...
